So... drink more Red Bull?

Cat food has tons of taurine in it because cooking food destroys taurine but unlike humans cats cannot produce taurine themselves.

More like eat more sashimi (which is uncooked by definition) or sushi that contains sashimi since uncooked fish meat contains a fair bit of taurine. Carpaccio would be a good option as well. If my budget supported it, that's a dietary change I'd be more than happy to make.

Or think of mass-market cat food as a dietary supplement

That's good to know my retirement plan will keep me looking young.

Bad plan

Cat food is incredibly expensive!

[Blackthorn]

Inflation is a funny thing. I once had a fencing coach who ate cat food because it was cheap and the school didn't pay him a living wage.

At the low end of the market (had a cat that lived 19y on this stuff), Meow Mix original is 3500 calories per kg. A 10kg bag costs $35 in Canadian dollars or about US$28.

So just a couple dollars a day for an adult.

Well sure, but it'll also keep me clear of urinary crystals.
